How to Kill Moss on Driveways

How to kill moss on driveways

Removing moss from driveways is simple and
easy to do. The solution is not expensive and does not cause damage to the substrate .
Tarmac and brick driveways and paths, whilst looking great and being extremely
functional, can rapidly be coated in moss, lichen & algae. The
surface is very rough in its construction, which encourages moisture
retention and allows moss to start growing. This moisture provides the 'food'
that the moss requires to grow, and an uneven surface provides excellent
protection for spores.

Preparation

Before any treatment we recommend that you brush the area,
preferably with a good stiff broom, to remove as much dirt and loose
growth as possible. If your driveway has weeds then ideally these should be removed too using a weedkiller.

Treatment

After brushing your driveway, spray the area withSprayaway Moss Remover.
Generally no rinsing is required, excess product will simply be washed away next time it rains. However for real stone driveways, such as Indian stone it is recommended to rinse with a hosepipe after 20-30 minutes to avoid staining.

The moss should start to turn brown within 24 to 48 hours. Once it has completely died it can be washed away with a power washer or by using a hosepipe and a broom.
Any green discolouration on the driveway should also have been removed.

Once the area has been cleaned and is dry, we advise the application ofSprayaway Seal as this will kill any remaining moss spores and provide protection against re-growth of
moss for 6 to 12 months.Prevention

You should always keep your driveway clean and remove leaves and
anything that causes shade across the area especially during the winter
months.
